Coming from Roche is a solid carbon fibre rear axle for the Rapide P12 and F1 kits. The axle replaces the standard ball differential assembly for a solid spool that provides more stable cornering an increased traction in very high bite “black carpet” racing conditions. The axle shaft is made of high-quality carbon fibre and the red anodised hub takes all popular pan car and touring car spur gears.

Bezerk RC has introduced an option chassis for the Roche P10 pan car. The chassis has 10mm added to the wheelbase to aid in high speed stability and the design supports a centrally mounted shorty battery. The pack has been lowered 2.5mm into the 3mm chassis to lower the centre of gravity to give a better change of direction while the 3mm chassis adds some stiffness over the whole chassis to give a precise feel on track. In addition the servo position has been moved over 1.5mm to better centre some servos. Like all Bezerk products the chassis can be customised to suit the driver’s needs.

Roche have introduced a front body post mount for their Rapide F1 series of cars. Machined from aluminium and coming in a two-tone red and black finish, the mount is compatible with most front wings and since the front body post is fastened to the plate – and not the front wing – it is not necessary to use different body shells when swapping front wing brands. Included with the mount comes suitable mounting hardware.
Roche have introduced new option parts for the Rapide F1 Evo formula car in the form of an aluminium chassis, a rear lower pod plate and a DVS-V2 centre shock extension. Starting with the chassis, the part is cut from 2.5mm aluminium and it sports massive machining to scrub weight and optimise the flex characteristics. The chassis and the matching rear lower pod plate both sport a red and black finish and support Roche’s floating side link system.
Coming from Roche and made for the P12-2017 1/12th scale pan car is a new optional power pod assembly. Consisting of a new motor mount side plate and an updated carbon fibre upper plate, the mount allows for multiple motor mounting positions using just the lower mounts or an additional upper position with the assembly being meant to make for a more planted ride and increased corner speed at corner exit.

Roche have introduced the P12-2017 USA Spec 1/12th scale pan car kit.

The kit has already proven its performance by taking a podium spot at the recent IIC and the TQ at the Halloween Classic race.
